happy birthday

My Gram, Cecile Fields, celebrates her 99th birthday today. A fashionista herself, Gram has always been an important inspiration. During the late 1970s, when I was a little girl, Gram worked in Detroit. She would frequently return to Canada with neat little dresses and faux furs for me. Throughout her life, Gram made all of her own clothes, too. Her style is uniquely classic. I recall many strangers on the street complimenting her pillbox hats and those great dresses, always cut just below the knee. Much love Gram. Endless thanks for the inspiration. XO

Vintage – representing the high quality of a past time.
I’m passionate in my quest to find and use great, affordable vintage pieces of clothing to accent my contemporary wear. The purpose of this blog is to inspire you to do the same, and provide some hints as to where classic vintage pieces can be found, based on my shopping excursions throughout the world. The juxtaposition of pairing contemporary clothing with unique vintage piece(s) is smart, sophisticated, and distinctly fashionable.
